Nepenthes (ventricosa X sibuyanensis) X trusmadiensis is an Exotica Plants hybrid between highlanders. The main reason I purchased this hybrid was because of the N. trusmadiensis as one of the parents. Anything with N. trusmadiensis in it is worth trying to grow in my opinion. I would expect to see variation within this hybrid because of the complex parentage. So far it's been an easy grower outdoors in highland conditions but may do fine in intermediate conditions because of the female parentage. Both N. ventricosa and N. sibuyanensis do better in warmer conditions than colder temperatures for me. Time will tell as the plants get older how spectacular this hybrid turns out to be.
